QUOTE(Noobi3 @ Jul 24 2013, 12:50 AM) If the user is regular , why need a powerful pc ? A decent pc is more then enough since he/she is regular . Save up the money . Having a budget b4 buying anything is a very good practice but it doesn't mean he/she has to spent it all . U never know when u need the xtra cash for .  Those who buy powerful pc are normally gamers who tend to buy exp keyboard mouse to match with the pc performance. Those who buy budget pc from Dell are casual Internet surfers who just use whatever free dell provide. Heck even dell alien ware automatically cones with better mouse. So yes, they end to go along. Cheap with cheap accessories, and vice versa.

QUOTE(jemmi @ Jul 24 2013, 08:38 AM) Unlucky, Dell not provide me free mouse with my Alienware laptop & just bought used bluetooth mouse. I'm using my ALienware for video/photo ediiting & some other editing. My advise for laptop user, upgrade your HDD with SSD. My S4 just using RM20 rubber/pvc case without/opened ori back/battery cover. Prefer make my S4 look cheap.  But actually u r a rich guy who use the phone bare so tat u can change every year

QUOTE(Cavino @ Jul 24 2013, 08:27 AM) True but then again, if one spend all his budget to get an S4 and then cannot afford a good albeit expensive casing, he really shouldn't have gotten the S4 in the first place. This is leading to future debts ridden life style. A discounted S3 should be better budget wise..... Have to say tho.....some ppl just don't bother with good casing, they just switch phone every year when new models appear. Err what u talk? Rm100 become future debt, but 2k phone with 2 year telco tie down monthly fee plan not even worse for future debt?

QUOTE(ken2291 @ Jul 25 2013, 12:40 AM) I peeled it off, only to notice that the film has a hole in the middle, which means it doesn't protect the middle of the lens where photos are captured, lol U should notice by now that there are many dust particles trap between the edges of the sticker and lens. If u don't take it off soon, slowly the particles will start scratching the lenses.

QUOTE(erymanthus @ Jul 25 2013, 04:12 PM) LTE with Snapdragon better. The Octacore is going to be obsolete already. News that Samsung already planned to replace that old Octacore. So it doesn't make sense to buy the old Octa core unless you can wait for the new one. Moving forward, 4G LTE is the way to go. New HTC, iPhone5 etc are all 4G LTE already. All Telco will eventually push for 4G LTE....so the S4 LTE will be a bit more future proof. If you read reviews online, you wil see people saying the battery life on S4 LTE Snapdragon is better than the old Octacore non LTE version. Ebay already selling the S4 LTE today at RM2099....pricing is reducing so get the LTE version Just my 2 cents. Also u forgot to mention about the low storage space left in the non lte version. Move to sd card function also won't help much.

QUOTE(Cavino @ Jul 26 2013, 12:50 PM) Actually its not worth spending so much for S4 if you've got google nexus. S4 is for those who wants the fastest phone at the moment. I'm actually quite happy to stay with my S2 (updated to 4.1.2) if not for my wife needing another smartphone. If you're at least in Klang Valley, LTE coverage is quite huge (KL, PJ, Subang) and expanding fast, would you rather spend RM1700 to get a phone where the internet bandwidth will be practically outdated in a year's time or add another RM300-400 to extend a few more years. Actually think abt it, you're actually paying RM300 for the essential 16GB more builtin memory increase. That by itself is worth it liao besides better battery life. Or you could always wait till Note 3 comes out. Price for S4 sure to drop harder. Why nobody ever mention full HD screen? That was the main reason I upgraded from s3,beside the lte speed..

QUOTE(Cavino @ Jul 29 2013, 09:13 AM) Low yat seller directD LTE pricing is also going down practically weekly. 2 weeks ago, 2127, 1 week ago 2121, today 2087. Can buy directly from their shop too in Subang. I'm seriously considering it, since I prefer a real shop where I can ask them to help put on SP (if I get Glas.TR). Anyway I will wait for good casing first (slim armor view?+glas.tr), then only consider buying. By that time u will be waiting for note3 or ip6 s5

QUOTE(Cavino @ Jul 29 2013, 11:54 AM) I think I enjoy anticipating for phone that I "might" be purchasing (meaning not just surveying with no intention to buy but actually got intention to purchase) than actually buying the phone. The fun in waiting and choosing a good case is part of the joy. Once purchase a 2K phone, I will have to skip at least a generation of smart phone (abt 2 years) to make it worthwhile to purchase again. Thus my skipping of S3 and Note2 for that matter. If only wife is not waiting for my phone thus rushing me... Figure as much ur age, based on ur patience. Youngsters nowadays can't wait and will line up for midnight device launches.

QUOTE(OneBuck @ Aug 1 2013, 10:45 AM) I am also new user I9505 since middle July. Facing the same problem. Going mad a few days and disable all S4 functions. But the problem remain. As suggested by the former, install Wakelock Detector. Found out that one apps wake the phone up about 200 times in only about 10 hours. Uninstall and now the battery awesome.  That is a different issue. He is referring to battery drop 1% every few mins when in use. To me that is normal, even when I was using iphone with 3g browsing. I also depends on the telco signal strength.

QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Aug 1 2013, 01:46 PM) Yes, it's quite normal. Using 3G/4G for surfing drains the battery quickly. I've used a variety of smartphones and the drain can be as high as 1% every 1.5 mins. I don't think 1% every 2-3 mins on 3G surfing is abnormal. On WiFi the drain will be much slower. I concur that is also true for my ipad HD. Use wifi battery drop 1% maybe every 3 mins. But use 3g definitely every 1-2 min drop 1% I dunno how come u get better result in htc one, but most reviews out there reports s4 beats htc one battery duration... Maybe u r n an area with too frequent signal switching(2g/3g borders) , or too weak signal. Worse still if using digi

QUOTE(namh @ Aug 2 2013, 12:49 PM) what data plan you use? we can get 4G speed across all data plan? because my celcom data plan stated speed up to 7.2Mbps only.. i dont want to change to 4G sim card and later cant get the 4G service  7.2mbps is 3.5g(hsdpa+),not 4g. Maxis 4g I tested speed up to 41mbps. Once u use 4g,will never want to go back 3g. At home I would rather use 4g than my unifi. Check their website for coverage area.

QUOTE(namh @ Aug 2 2013, 07:09 PM) you get the info and breaking news faster than 3G user, by a mere speed of light.. google search appear before you press enter.. twitter, facebook and instagram feed come to you before you touch the screen.. but all this didnt change the way you live with your smartphone before.. it still the same facebook you read, same instagram you upload and same tweet you chirping out.. in what way you need more data quota than before? even for youtube streaming, there is no problem to stream HD content in 3G, so what is the different when you stream in 4G? you like to watch video 2x speed than normal speed? Like that also can? Then y don't u stick with ur modem 56k while others use streamyx/unifi? Have some sense pls.
